Hardware shop POS system in Kenya

Hardware shops buy in cartons and sell by the piece, cut pipe and cable by the metre, and carry regular customers on credit. General POS handles units, conversions, credit accounts and supplier orders in one system.

Selling

Built for how hardware is sold

Units and conversions

The hardware setup starts with pieces and boxes (12 to a box) and metres and feet, with the conversion done for you. Add your own units, such as bags or cartons.

Your own product fields

Record pack size, supplier code, material or cut length on each product, so staff can find the right item quickly.

Credit for regular customers

Give a customer a credit limit and charge sales to their account. The system stops a sale that would take them over the limit, and you record each collection against their invoices.

Barcodes and labels

Scan products with a USB barcode scanner, or print price labels with barcodes for items that do not come with one.

Behind the counter

Know what you have and what you owe

Supplier orders

Raise purchase orders, receive full or partial deliveries and keep the supplier invoice reference with the stock you received.

Stock across branches

Count stock, transfer between shops and follow each transfer from dispatch to receipt.
